Probably what I'll be doing for part of today and tomorrow. #2 son brought a Christmas tree home from his National Guard Christmas for the families. Since his 3 daughters are going to be here this afternoon for the weekend, I suppose we will re-arrange things so the tree will fit.

And a damn good start too! I bought the lot! The boring head is a very nice AMERICAN MADE one, and has very little use. I'm happy!
